I'm going to do this chapter a little differently, because there is going to be a lot of fighting. I'm going to do what they do on the show and go around to the different people fighting, like from Spike to Buffy then to Faith. Here it is!

"Hello, slayer. I see you decided to bring some of your flunkies with you. Ah, and who is this pretty little thing?" said Caleb with a smirk.

"I'm Faith and I'm sure that when I'm pounding your face you won't think I'm pretty or little anymore," Faith said meeting his smirk with a fierce glare.

"You really think that you are going to 'pound my face'?" Caleb asked with yet another grin.

"No, actually, she's not. That job is reserved for me," Buffy said joining the exchange. She began to step forward, but she felt someone's hand grab her shoulder. She turned and saw it was Faith with an ample amount of worry showing in her eyes.

"Let me take him, Buffy. I can do it. Please," Faith pleaded and Buffy responded by cupping Faith's cheek, much to the surprise of Angel and Spike, and said, "This is my fight with him," and with that she advanced on Caleb. "Let's dance slayer." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Bringers advanced on Faith, Angel and Spike. There was about ten of them. "I'll take four of them," said Faith and ran to a clearer area and began to fight without waiting for the boys' responses.

She began to fight the Bringers with her axe. Faith noticed it was like fighting a really strong vampire. One of them tried to punch her in the head, but she blocked it. Another attacked her from behind and kicked her in the back of her knees, which forced her to the ground. It dove at her and she dodged it and was able to get back on her feet. All four of the Bringers rushed her and she did a flip over them followed by a kick to two of the Bringers backs, which temporarily incapacitated them. She quickly reacted and cut off one of the injured Bringers heads off.

"One down, three to go. You guys aren't that bad. I wonder what all the hype about you guys is about," Faith said, but she was thinking a totally different thought, *Man, am I out of shape. These guys are kicking my ass. If Caleb is stronger than them like Angel said, then Buffy is going to need a lot of help. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angel was having a hard dealing with his three. After all, he had only fought a Bringer twice and that was only one at a time. Bringer kicked him in the stomach. He doubled over which allowed on of the others to cut him on the lower back.

*What is wrong with me? My fighting sucks today. I wonder how Faith is doing. UH OH! *

Two of them were coming toward him at a very quick pace. He tried to evade the attacks, but he didn't quite move fast enough and again was cut by one of the Bringers. He kicked one of them in the kneecap and heard a sickening yet satisfying crack.

*That should keep him out of action for a little while. *

He turned and punched another in the face and followed that with a knee in the gut. He was just about to cut off its head when another one of them came and knocked his axe out of his hand. The Bringer then started to hit him repeatedly in the face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spike wasn't doing too badly with his assigned lot. One of the Bringers caught his trench coat and pulled forcing Spike to the ground.

"Looks like I got the easy lot. What kind of pussy grabs clothing in a fight?" Spike leered. The words were barely out of his mouth when he saw the Bringer lunge at him. He rolled to avoid the attack. "Now that's not very nice."

He landed a kick to the abdomen of one of the Bringers and brought down his sword hard on the Bringers neck. He felt one of the remaining Bringers cut his back; his coat received the most damage. "You idiot! This is my favorite coat, not to mention my only one. I was going to play with you a little before I killed you, and actually I still am, but it's going to be s little more painful."

Spike swung his sword and cut the Bringers arm off. He then kicked the Bringer in the head and began to punch him. He didn't notice the other Bringer and turned to see he was about to be impaled through the hart when Faith also spot the grim situation and threw her axe which imbedded in the Bringers head. They shared a glance of understanding.

He took the axe out and threw it back to Faith, who he noticed had only one Bringer left herself, after he finished off his last Bringer. He was about to go and help when he saw Angel getting his ass kicked. Spike sighed and went to help him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buffy and Caleb had been doing their "dance" for some time. For the first couple minutes it had been semi equal, but after a while, Buffy began to tire and the fight became rather one-sided. She would try to attack him, but he would easily block her attempt and counter with something much stronger, which Buffy had only managed to evade a handful of times.

She was getting pretty beat up. It didn't help that every couple of seconds she would glance at Faith. Every time she dared to look it would be met with a solid punch or kick as if she was at school and whenever she let her attention wander her teacher would slap her hand, except this was slightly more extreme.

It continued on like this for a while, when suddenly Caleb said, "I'm getting bored. I think I'm ready to go and kill your little friends," and with that he took her by the neck and lifted her from the ground. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Faith finally cut off the last Bringer's head and gazed around the makeshift battlefield. She noticed Spike waling toward Angel who was getting wailed on by one of the Bringers. She was about to go and help them when she saw Buffy was in major trouble. She started running toward Buffy and Caleb, but it was if she was running in water, she just couldn't run fast enough.

Finally she was within ten feet of them. She noticed Buffy was turning blue. Faith decided to throw her small knife that she had been concealing in case something of the nature happened. Caleb caught it right as it was about to hit is head. He began to laugh and threw it back. Faith tried to move, but her reflexes weren't up to normal capacity from worry and not being used before tonight. The knife imbedded itself in her chest, slightly above her right breast. She cried out in pain and removed the knife.

She began to charge Caleb, but was just tossed to the side like a rag doll. She gathered herself and noticed that Buffy had passed out from lack of oxygen. She grabbed her axe and ran up to Caleb again. He turned and caught the axe right before it hit him. He let go of Buffy and said, "Well this is rather disappointing. I thought you were going to be a little tougher than you are proving to be. Oh well, you're a lot more fun than her," he said motioning to Buffy. He then started to attack Faith and again the fight was one sided.

Her vision was becoming blurry from the loss of blood and the pain. Finally she thought she saw a beat up looking Angel and a smug looking Spike coming toward her. They saw what was going on and began to run. Angel stopped by Buffy and began to try and revive her. He yelled, "She's breathing, but we need to get her home."

Faith nodded as best she could as did Spike. He came running forward and kicked Caleb in the back. Caleb turned and for the first time noticed all of his "companions" were dead. Angel became apparent in his face and he threw Faith to the ground and rounded on Spike, who he then began to punch. He was screaming curses and was too involved to notice a very wobbly Faith pick up her knife and stab him in the back several times, before she collapsed from exhaustion and her wound.

Caleb screamed and said one of the world famous evil villain clichés, "This is not the end. Not by far; I'll be back soon," and with that, he ran away, stumbling from pain.

Spike got up and went to Faith. She wasn't unconscious, though it looked like she might be soon so he picked her up and carried her over to where Angel held Buffy. Angel was very bloody and had many cuts on his body. Spike's face was bloody and he had a minor scratch on his back. Faith was beat up pretty bad and she had a pretty bad stab wound, but Spike knew that with treatment, stopping the bleeding, and a good rest, she would be fine. Buffy was beat up pretty badly too, and bruises were popping up all over her neck, but she too would be fine with some rest. Both Angel and Spike knew this, so they began to go back to Buffy's house where they would all be fixed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They arrived and everyone gathered around them. They laid Buffy and a now unconscious Faith on the couch and began to tend to their injuries. When they were finished, they all looked like giant gauze balls. Spike had bandages all over his face, as did everyone, and a bandage on his back. The rest had similar bandages as Spike except the rest had more. Xander and Wood carried Buffy to their bedrooms. After Spike was patched up, he went to sulk in a chair across the room over his coat. Angel went to watch over Faith and Willow and Xander went to watch Buffy while they slept.
